Click when swallowing

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me.  For a few weeks now I have this click in my throat when I swallow.  Not when I am drinking water or eating, but just during normal swallowing.  It doesn't click when my head is down or up, but it clicks when I am looking straight.  If I put my fingers just above adams apple I can feel a click.

Please help me to identify what it could be.

Thank you,
B

I've had the same clicking for over a year now and have not been to see a dr yet... I'd go to ucla in a minute if I knew threw would fix me up lol. Seems to be a lot of ppl with the same issue. I also had been dealing with heartburn for a while until I took a pill for that. Click is still there .  I hear stress plays a roll in this and I for sure have stress in my life.  I noticed it first when I was in the shower and I sneezed , I swallowed and there was the click for the first time. It went away but later came back with a sneeze. Now it's there most of the time. Not while eating or drinking tho. aim going to see a dr to find out what they have to say... Any new news with anyone else?

Hi,
I have the same clicking problem when swallowing. Not happening with fluids or food. I have read all the comments above but noone seems to find a root cause.
When I eat I feel like some of the food is stuck in my throat, it does go away after a while. Plus this clicking problem while swallowing. It has gone for almost over a month now and it started after a night out. I had few drinks and some food. Got indigestion the next day but got some pills and it stopped. Clicking occured at the evening. Not sure what could have caused this. Just a coincident or GERD? My thyroid has 2cm bump, but it was diagnosed 2 weeks before the clicking has started. So this should not be related.
What are your thoughts? Any suggestions?
